Tregulland Cottage and Barns

Tregulland, Nr Bodmin Moor, north Cornwall, UK - Explore & Book

"This is a show-stopping renovation with beautiful valley views on the edge of Bodmin Moor. It's made up of a stunning 5-bedroom stone barn with a large living room in the former granary space on the top floor, a large 6-bedroom cottage with a sunroom, and outbuildings. Grown-up style meets award-winning eco sustainability. The gorgeous indoor freshwater pool is the first of its kind in the UK and a strong thread of energy efficiency and reclamation runs throughout. The layout is great for a group of families or bunch of friends in need of the perfect party pad. This is no ordinary holiday rental either: a bespoke service is available to help plan your stay, offering chefs, massages, yoga, perhaps bushcraft. And you can even get married outside in the Meadow! It's like being in a top-notch hotel but with the flexibility of your own home. Interiors by Marcus Crane are elegant and eclectic. Vintage and recycled finds have been combined with colourful fabrics to create a quirky, homely feel. We found ourselves coveting everything around us. Despite its design credentials, it’s a ‘put your feet up and pour yourself a glass of wine’ sort of place. You’re close to some of Cornwall's best beaches and prettiest fishing villages, but if you don’t feel like waxing down your surfboards, there’s so much space and so much to do on-site that you’ll barely need to leave. Take the kids on a nature trail around 16 acres of private land, go fishing for Doris (the resident carp) in the enormous lake, watch a DVD in the Barn's cinema room or just sit back in the fabulous outdoor hot tub and enjoy the views. Highs Interiors are seriously fab – both high spec and imaginative Acres of space outdoors and indoors with chill-out zones, home cinema and snugs, and a games room. Lovely dining areas make it a perfect base for celebrations State-of-the-art kitchens for cooking in, or amazing catered options including dinners by Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow Amazing indoor freshwater pool (the UK's first), decked out in cool slate, plus steam room and wood-fired outdoor hot tub Impressive eco credentials, thanks to biomass boiler and solar panels that produce all power and underfloor heating Lows You normally need to book well in advance – up to a year ahead for peak times No beaches, pubs or restaurants within walking distance Normally a 3-night minimum stay, with arrival and departure on Friday / Monday, or 7 nights Friday-Friday in summer The remote location means patchy mobile signal, but they have decent WiFi" - Aidan Forestier-Walker
